Ten little indian boys went out to dine; One choked his little self and then there were nine. Nine little indian boys sat up very late; One overslept and then there were eight. Eight little indian boys traveling to Devon; One said he'd stay and then there were seven. Seven little indian boys chopping up sticks; One chopped himself in halves and then there were Six. Six little indian boys playing with a hive; One got stung and then there were five. Five little indian boys going in for law; One got in chancery and then there were four. Four little indian boys going out to sea; a red herring swallowed one and then there were three. Three little indian boys walking in the zoo; A bear hugged one and then there were two. Two little indian boys sitting in the sun; One got frizzled up and then there was one. One little indian boy left all alone; He went and hanged himself and then there were none.
The sea... So peaceful to the day-sometimes so cruel... The sea that dragged you down to its depths. Drowned-drowned-drowned... No, she wouldnt remember... She would not hink of it! All of that was over...
Queer business when you came to think of it-the whole thing was queer-very queer...
'The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken. The lord is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. The wicked shall be turned into hell '
These sentences or paragraphs show suspense and foreshadowing because they keep you wondering on what is going to happen in the next chapter or part of the book. For example, the poem about the indian boys makes you wonder if it giving you clues, or just supposed to make you think. So that is clearly suspense. The sentence about queer buisness because it makes you think a lot about why he
